About Me

SOUNDHEAD is an electronic musician, creating sound from homemade samples, tape noise and musique concrete. There is another incarnation called henry lee valentine, producing acoustic music, found at www.myspace.com/henryleevalentine

Videoart piece made for 'Ny to Canada'. Using only video generators, filters and transistions - no film. A descendant of the Direct Film movement of the early 20th century.

Blank Record is made using just a single sound source. All audio comes from the sound of a piece of blank 7" vinyl playing on a turntable. I broke down each part of audible sound, and manipulated and enhanced it with a sampler.The images are only sourced from the record spinning, digitally enhanced with a 'direct film' approach. It is a statement on commercialism, music and image and how each is portrayed and marketed in the media world.
